Hi Donna.  Your spreadsheet...does it contain any blank rows or columns?
If so, make a copy of the spreadsheet, remove the blank columns and rows
then try the filter.  /g

Subject: [mso] Excel question

I have an excel spreadsheet mainly of company, person's name, salesman
contact and some other columns.

I turn on autofilter to search for a person's name and they do not
appear in the alphabetized pulldown list.  And as a matter of fact only
a portion of the names appear in the pull-down list and there is no
rhyme or reason to who appears and who doesn't as far as I can tell.

However, when I search for the same person's company they work for, the
company does appear and their name shows up in the same row, as it
should.

Any reason that autofilter filters OUT information that should be there?
